Amelia P. "Sally" Carone Eisenman

Amelia "Sally" Eisenman passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Saturday, March 6, 2010 after a brief illness. She was born to Catherine and Cono Carone in Oil City, PA. on November 28, 1918.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ford Eisenman, who passed away on March 12, 1983. Also awaiting her arrival in heaven were her sisters Florence Carone, Eva Rodgers and her brothers Tony and Paul Carone.

After her husband suffered a stroke in June of 1975, Sally became his main caregiver. When he passed away in 1983, God granted her many more years to enjoy her life which she did to the fullest.

Sally was known for her young at heart spirit, her sense of humor and her tremendous sense of fashion. She was passionately proud of her Italian heritage.

She is survived by her three daughters, Carol Durkin, Nancy Eisenman-Elwell (Bud Elwell) and Kathy Eisenman. Also surviving are seven grandchildren, Ford and John Eisenman, Carla Hart, Rich Durkin, Joy Durkin, Amelia (Amy) Anderson and Anthony Eisenman; six great grandchildren; sisters-in-law Mary Margaret Gillespie of Erie and Lee Eisenman of Austin, TX and several nieces and nephews.

Friends may call at the John Orlando Funeral Home, 2122 Raspberry Street, Monday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. and are invited to attend a funeral mass at St. George RC Church, 5145 Peach Street, on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. followed by a burial in Calvary Cemetery, Oil City, PA.
